I belong to one Yahoo Group and have my email for that group set up for "individual emails" for all group messages. I receive all messages daily from all other group members except one member. Can't figure out why I don't get his messages (makes no difference if it is text only messages or messages with pics attached). The only way I know this particular member has posted to the group is when other members have their group email settings set up to automatically affix all/part of posts at the bottom of their replies to same.

As you see by my signature, I use Firefox 1.5.09 as my default browser. My other realtime running programs also listed there, but I don't think they could be a factor. Not sure whether Firefox is a factor with the blocking. I have asked this member to post a test message today and I am accessing the net exclusively via IE6 today to see if his test message comes through or not. Will report back my findings on that score.

BTW, I do not use an email client. I read all my mail directly off the Yahoo Mail website. Only thought I've had, is once or twice my mail has "bounced" because my inbox was full. But my inbox rarely gets full. And this problem seems to be more persistent than just a few occasions. Anyone have any additional thoughts on what could be causing my dilemma?

Don't know if it is the problem, but just realized I normally keep my mail options set to "automatically delete" bulk mail messages. Maybe somehow this group member's messages are being "perceived" as spam and Yahoo's spam filter is blocking his posts. I've gone into my settings just now and told it to hold those messages a week for me so I can test possible factor. Will post back my findings.

If you "bounce" with Yahoo Groups, all messages are blocked until you "unbounce" yourself, not just a few messages. And Firefox would not account for the problem for the same kind of reasons---all or nothing, as it were.If you are getting messages from the group, but not one member, you are probably correct in thinking it is a SPAM blocker working somewhere or another.
You should be able to revieiw your Yahoo Spam filters and determine if the member was accidently blocked as SPAM, and if so, you can reset the filter.

Yes, I suspect his messages were somehow being relegated to my bulk folder. Hopefully allowing those to be held for a week will resolve my problem. Thanks for your reply. Great minds................

Have since resolved my problem for anyone who might have a similar Yahoo Groups problem. Somehow that member's email address was in the blocked addresses! This occurs when you tag an email as spam. I suppose I must have inadvertently done so when he first joined the group. I went into Mail Options, SpamGuard and scrolled down to find his email on the list! I removed it and am now getting his group emails.
